Hey all,
I was wondering somebody has some advice for moving houses with a large collection; i own about 200-300 figures and while I have most figure boxes, i was wondering what is the best way to move them; i don't quite trust professional movers. >.<
so any advice on:
- how to pack them, just put the boxes in moving boxes or extra protection?
- what is the best way to move them? (i only have a really small car)
Thank you in advance for the advice!

I know it sounds kind of flimsy, just using plastic grocery bags to pack scales - but they were fine and moved with no issues! I would do it again over repacking them in their original boxes because of the amount of time I saved doing so ^^;
I think if I were to move far, I'd rent a large vehicle and ask a friend I trust to drive it or pay extra to a trustworthy moving company to take just the figures one round and the rest of the stuff another time.
It'll make life so much easier if you can hand carry multiple figures in a large moving box rather than each individual box at a time that might slip out of your hand while doing multiple trips between car and your new place.
Work Smart not Hard.
When I move, I wont be moving far, so I plan to just find a few large boxes that could fit in my trunk and back seat, bubble wrap them the best I can, and just take them in batches over.
Have a room be specifically no entry for moving crew or anyone else, and just set them all on the floor as I move them over.
Then just make trips, lots of trips.
I think a van might be ideal for your situation.
Otherwise, it would be best to wrap your figures in bubble wrap individually or in combinations and then put them in huge boxes and have them shipped. Unfortunately, moving them all is going to cost a lot and you're going to have to find a good moving company since I've heard some don't really understand what "Fragile, handle with care" means.
